San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1887-09-09

The Galveston News seems to regard
a called session Of the legislature as
certain, Poor Texas-between the
imbecilities OF that 10th legislature, and
the distinctions ,of drOuth, devilment
and democratic prohibition II would
seem that the state had full share OF
worry without second intliotiOn OF an
Irresponsible Legislature.
The New York World shows evil
dences Of repentance and desire to re-
turn to its Cleveland allegiance. As
the president shelves the mugwumps
the Old line democrats straighten their
traces and throw their shoulders Into
the collar. They will all need to pull In
order to keep the numbering machine
from stalling in 1883.
Miss FRANCIS WILLARD tells her friends
in the east that the vote for prohibition
In Tennessee this month will be so
nearly unanimous that the ants wont
know there has been any voting done on
their side. The very well informed bu-
resu which this lady represented had
also sure thing in Texas, and lOO,COO
| prohibition majority was the least that
was possible. Facts after election will
be accepted as holding over theories be-
| fore election.
GLADSTONE III nOtltl Jug NuO hh"eN'
phia committee OF the impOssibility OF
accepting their invitation to be present
| at the constitutional centennial pays
very exalted tribute to the constitution
| OF the fathers, and declares the invita-
| tlon, In the form received, to be ths
most fattering proposal be has ever re-
| ceIved. Ii will be source or sincere
regret to thousands that the grandest
Englishman OF this century can not hnd
| the time to visit this country on this
occasion.
THE correspondence from southern
California agrees In representing times
flush and big bubble swelling, which
will sooner or later burst and leave the
holders nothing but wind. This Is not
the kind of n boom San Antonio is engi-
neering. The permanent increase OF
population and trade by the building up
Of legitimate enterprise and the intro
ductiOn OF manufacturing establish
ments, employing large capital and CIV
ing employment 10 thousands OF work
ingmen, Ia the object towards which this
city IS steering.
The Pittsburg Chronicle enters the
realm OF financial romance. ana assumes
to give the true inwardnCss OF the
causes which led TO Gould's going back
on partner flelu anu smiling MN ~ tHe
tune Of S2,5O0,0O0 on that Manhattan
deal. The Smoky City Chronicle at
tributes the squeeze TO the cut given by
the Field family TO little Mrs. George
Gould, after she was received open
armed into the bosom OF the Gould
household. What a news paragrapher
cannot evolve from the depth OF his
personal refiectiveness, when his salary
Is moving cause OF inspiration, has not
yet been discovered. The limit has
never been sighted with long range
glass.
THE suggestion Ia made for board OF
pardons for Texas. Texas needs
board OF charities and reforms more
than she does board OF pardons. The
reforms and charitiesOf this state are all
In private hands, so far as as In hand ut
all. The state has an interest in this
thing outriding all private oonsldera-
tiOns and 1t is high time some attention
was paid such work. A board OF chart
ties, corrections, and reforms with
proper reformatOry institutions would
decrease the number OF our criminals
ifty per cent IN few years,and that de-
crease would Indicate the actual decrease
in the honest industrial forces OF the
state caused by wise and philan-
thr opic policy Of reclamation.
